Birthday Trip of a Lifetime — Safari & Beach Bliss in Tanzania Thanks to African Big Cats Safari!!!!
Our recent trip to Tanzania was honestly one of the best experiences of our lives. It felt like living inside a nature documentary one moment, and a tropical daydream the next.
We started with a safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti — and it was beyond anything we’d imagined. Our guides (Obedi and Frank) were not only incredibly knowledgeable but also nice, funny, and patient. Every day brought new surprises: elephants walking right beside our vehicle, lions and leopards lounging in the shade, and endless herds of wildebeest and zebra stretching across the plains — absolute magic.
The lodges were beautiful and welcoming, with amazing food and the friendliest staff. Sitting around the campfire at night, listening to the sounds of the bush, felt surreal.
After days of adventure, we flew to Zanzibar — and wow, what a paradise. The beaches were pure white, the water crystal clear, and the atmosphere completely peaceful. We spent our days swimming, snorkeling, wandering through Stone Town, and just soaking up the island vibe.
Tanzania stole our hearts. The people, the landscapes, the wildlife — everything exceeded our expectations. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation, and we came home feeling completely inspired (and already planning our next visit!). Thank you to Naomi, Obedi, Frank and everyone at African Big Cats Safari who made our trip truly life-changing!
If you’ve ever dreamed of going on safari or visiting Zanzibar, don’t wait — just do it. It’s truly life-changing!

Review about Serengeti National Park by Laurent Leard
I believe the the end of dry season is not optimum. Nevertheless, this Park is a must IMO.

a magical place with many sights and many adventurous moments
Our safari experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish! We saw so many animals — lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and even a leopard, which was a real highlight. The landscapes were breathtaking, and every day brought something new and exciting. Our guide was outstanding: knowledgeable, friendly, and always making sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. He explained a lot about the animals, their behavior, and the ecosystem, which made the trip even more interesting. We also appreciated how well-organized everything was — from the early morning drives to the delicious meals and comfortable accommodation. You could tell that the entire team truly cared about giving us the best possible experience. I can honestly say this was one of the most memorable adventures of my life, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves nature and wildlife.

He is kind lier
He took me to a different place than I booked. If he had explained things honestly and asked me first, I think I would’ve been fine with the change. But he didnt

Imara made Kenya unforgettable
Our trip through Kenya with Imara was nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, everything was perfectly planned, flawlessly executed, and genuinely personal. Every transfer was smooth, every detail taken care of — we never had to think about logistics once.
The lodges they picked were spot-on — each one matched exactly what we wanted, from the Nairobi stay to the safari camps and finally the stunning beach resort. The safari itself was phenomenal. Our guide and driver, Patrick, was outstanding — knowledgeable, patient, funny, and clearly passionate about what he does. Thanks to him, we saw and learned far more than we ever expected.
Imara also surprised us with moments we’ll never forget — like a completely private sundowner deep in the Mara, complete with a chef, bar setup, and a Maasai dance celebration just for us. It felt surreal — like something out of a film.
In Nairobi, Edward was an excellent guide — engaging, insightful, and genuinely fun to spend the day with. He even introduced us to a brilliant local spot for the best grilled fish imaginable.
We travel often, but this experience stands out as one of the most thoughtful and well-crafted trips we’ve ever taken. Imara didn’t just plan a vacation — they created memories we’ll talk about for a lifetime.
Couldn’t recommend them more highly. We’ll absolutely be back!

Excellent company to deal with and very quick to respond to communications
We had an excellent agent in Katelynn. She answered our pre tour emails very promptly and professionally. We had an issue while we were at Kruger and I sent an email to Katelynn explaining what had happened. By the time we went to dinner a few hours later, she had contacted the resort and sorted the matter with them to my satisfaction. The transport to and from Kruger was very good, with a very short stop to use the facilities but not much more. The service station overlooked a watering hole where we saw rhinos and ostriches, definite bonus. As well as the Kruger tours, we also had a private tour of the Panorama route, the scenery was amazing and I would highly recommend taking this trip. Our second Kruger trip was the best experience, and we saw all the Big Five, we were delighted. Our room at Kruger Adventure Lodge could best be described as mediocre and could do with some attention. However, the staff, especially Nikiwe were so friendly and the food was of a reasonable standard. Overall a trip to remember and I can highly recommend The Mzansi Experience agency.
